What is the Advanced List Element?
GemPages offers two elements for displaying content in a list:
- Item List element: Starts each item with an icon but only allows icons from the GemPages icon library.
- Advanced List element: Works like the Item List but allows custom icons or images. This makes it ideal for creating bulleted lists that match your content and design style.
How to Add the Advanced List Element to Your Page
Step 1: In the GemPages Dashboard, select your page to enter the Editor.
Step 2: Within the Editor, locate the Advanced list element under the Content list section. Drag & drop it onto the desired location on the page.
Click on the element, you will find the configuration revealed on the left sidebar.
Configure the Settings Tab
1. Item management
This section lets you add, remove, or duplicate list items.
- To add a new item, click the Duplicate icon next to an existing item. A new item will appear immediately below the original.
- To remove an item, click the Trash icon on the item you want to delete, then confirm the deletion.
2. Item spacing
The Item Spacing controls the vertical space between each item in your list. Use the slider or input value to adjust the distance.
- Default: 12px
- Larger spacing can make the list easier to read, while smaller spacing creates a more compact design.
3. Item style
Icon & Text Gap : This adjusts the horizontal space between the icon (or image) and the text.
- Default: 12px
- Increase the gap for a more open layout; reduce for a tighter appearance.
Padding: Adds space around each list item.
- Click Add padding and enter the number of pixels you want.
- This ensures your content does not touch the edges of the item box.
Background: You can add a color background behind item.
Border, Corner, and Shadow: These options allow you to style the item container.
- Border: Choose style (solid, dashed, dotted), thickness, and color.
- Corner: Adjust the border-radius to round the corners.
- Shadow: Add shadows to create depth or highlight items.
4. Size
Width: Controls the width of the content box inside the element:
- Fit to Content: The box automatically adjusts to the size of the content.
- Full: The box expands to 100% of the container width.
Padding: Adjust the spacing between the edges of the content box and the content inside. Click Add padding and enter your desired value in pixels.
Arrange: Align the content inside the box: Left, Center, or Right.
- This setting will be hidden if the width is set to Auto.
- Default alignment is Left.
5. Background
You can also set a background for the entire Advanced List element:
- Color:
- Image:
6. Shape
- Border: Set the border style, thickness, and color for the overall element.
- Corner: Round the corners of the element with a border-radius.
- Shadow: Apply shadow effects to make the list visually stand out.
7. Align
Determine how the element is positioned on your page. There are three options to choose from left-aligned, centered, and right-aligned.
